I got it pretty good.

After my long and eventful day yesterday, Michaela, Erin and I watched Woody Allen's "Sleeper," then I popped into the Pub to catch the last few songs of a friend's band's set. Both were great fun.

Because yesterday was a long day and because I accidentally turned off my alarm instead of hitting snooze this morning, I ended up rolling into work around the crack of noon but that's okay because even if anyone did notice, no one cares when I show up as long as I get the work done. That's a good job to be in. I won't do it often but I ought to enjoy the freedom a little in these next two weeks, before I go back to working a few shifts each week at Friday's.

Today was program, program, program as usual; I can say with certainty, however, that I am making progress. Matt Argall and I used to lament the fact that we were both writing code for the same project because it meant taking time to understand what each had written and I am finding that especially troublesome now that he isn't around to answer my questions. To wit, some of the "progress" is simply extracting information from his old code but that's what has to get done and it isn't a huge hang-up as song as the process doesn't take me weeks.

I love sunsets.

"Sleeper," one of the great films of my generation, also has the absolute best last lines ever. As you remember, Diane Keaton and Woody Allen are having this typical Woody Allen colloquy, leading up to:

[last lines]
"Luna Schlosser: Oh, I see. You don't believe in science, and you also don't believe that political systems work, and you don't believe in God, huh?
Miles Monroe: Right.
Luna Schlosser: So then, what do you believe in?
Miles Monroe: Sex and death - two things that come once in a lifetime... but at least after death, you're not nauseous."

Miles is one of my heroes.
